Challenge Weigh in Help
Joehi- Yeah, my weight tracker shows up correctly some places, but not others. For instance, the status bar below my posts is stalled at an old weight, from a couple weigh-ins ago. This problem only started a few days ago for me, but it's really frustrating already. I have challenges that are ending in a few days and I want it to record my *actual* progress in the challenge.

Weight not showing in challenges
I'm having the exact same problem. Every time I weigh in lately, it shows up on my personal weight history, but doesn't register in the challenges. I know your post is a couple weeks old...did you ever find a solution? Thanks!

Question for Vegetarians
If you want to make something special for her, you could stuff a portobello mushroom or an acorn squash with some savory wild rice stuffing. Vegetarian mushroom gravy is especially decadent, and not hard to make.

But I agree with others that she probably won't mind just eating all the vegetable side dishes. I'm a vegetarian who loves Thanksgiving, and I find it easy to get filled up on just the sides. One thing to be mindful of is not using chicken broth or other meat products in the mashed potatoes, stuffing, etc. Just use vegetable stock instead. I'm sure she will appreciate your effort!

Vegan or vegetarian brown bag lunch ideas?
My personal go-to lunch is a slice of whole wheat toast, slathered with hummus and topped with sliced raw onion, red pepper, cucumber, raw spinach, and some kosher salt and lemon juice sprinkled on top. It's like an open face sandwich and it gets kind of messy when you eat it...but it tastes delicious and it fills me up.

Also, I was recently looking for more vegetarian lunch ideas and I found some good ideas in these posts. Lots of good recipes to try:
